Electroforming is the process by which a thin copper veneer is added to a non-metallic object by means of electricity and a conductive solution.
Honestly, I understand how it works, it still feels like actual magic. At least low-level alchemy. Also, it's fun and quite doable in a small shop.

@Liquidfire3240 5 лет назад

So if you make a negative mold of something interesting, cast a positive out of resin, electroplate it, then cast that inside a resin cube, it would be an object that is almost 100% resin throughout, except for the thin amount of paint/copper which be the only thing you would see.

@nicotti 5 лет назад

This would be awesome with clear/transparent resins and only partially plating the inner mold. For example: a transparent yellow star with plated points in a clear resin ball as a Christmas ornament.

A copper plated packing peanut was something I never new I would see. But I'm glad I did. Interesting process!

@thethoughtemporium 5 лет назад

Once you've got a copper layer on there, you can then electroplate on top of it with lots of other metals. So the next step could be to do a light gold plating on top. Maybe electroform a chocolate coin, then gold plate it to make real gold chocolate coins just for fun. Or it'll just make parts like this necklace look even more incredible. If you do an object that can take a fair bit of heat, you can copper electroform, then chemically coat it in zinc, and then if you heat the object the two metals will mix together to form brass directly on the thing and give a golden color. Used to do that to quarters for fun. Basically just works on metal parts though because of the heat required.

@jenniferbunting24 4 года назад

@maxximumb 5 лет назад

Peter, if the packing peanut has a small hole in the copper, you could dissolve out the polystyrene with acetone, leaving it hollow. Hmmm, maybe make a shape in polystyrene, coat with conductive paint, but leave holes in the paint, so once it's electro-formed and the polystyrene is dissolved out, you end up with a hollow form that you can see is hollow. Thanks for a fun video and keep up the magic.

@OddTinkering 5 лет назад

Cool and project! If you coat the wood with resin and finish it glossy before painting and then plate for a long time you should be able to carefully polish the metal surface if you want to get that sort of look. I'm not 100% sure but I think it could plate even without the electricity. The copper solution will do that at high enough concentration. It's called electroless plating if I'm not mistaken. It still need the conductive surface. I'm actually experimenting with this conducive paint stuff too atm so this was really interesting to see.

As long as the areas to be plated are connected this works fine. And when plating clear resin you get copper on the outside and black from the paint on the inside.
